[Peculiarities of immunologic reactivity in workers exposed to various neurotoxic chemicals].
The author presents results of immunologic examination in workers contacting mercury, chlorinated hydrocarbons at work. Research revealed peculiarities of immune response of the workers to neurotoxic chemicals varying in chemical nature. Discussion covered a topic of pathogenetic value of hyperactivated inflammatory cytokines and increased levels of antibodies to nervous tissue antigens in occupational neurointoxications.
